Today, Wang Fan played to his heart's content and ate to his stomach's delight.
This kind of scene, where he could play and eat with his family, was something he longed for but couldn't achieve in his past life.
However, after checking the time, Wang Fan regretfully said to his uncle, "Uncle, we should head back to make the braised pork, it's getting late."
His uncle nodded, holding a gun, and said to the stall owner, "Hurry up, didn't you hear my nephew say we need to head back? Don't stack them up, just toss them into the air."
The balloon stall owner, looking miserable, pulled the balloons out of the large burlap bag and tossed them up one by one.
His uncle didn't hesitate at all. As soon as the balloon left the owner's hand, he pulled the trigger, and the balloon exploded before it could even float up.
The onlookers, seeing his uncle's prowess, didn't hesitate to cheer him on.
"Awesome!"
"Old man, you're amazing! Were you in the army before?"
"This old guy seems ordinary, but turns out, he's quite the marksman."
"You seem off."
The stall owner, on the brink of tears, watched as the balloons in the large burlap bag were barely enough for him to shoot.
"Bro, bro, please spare me, I surrender, okay?"
His uncle looked at him, "Really surrender?"
The owner quickly replied, "Yes, yes, I truly do, it's all my fault."
His uncle scoffed, "It's not about your fault, it's mainly because you're not honest. Did you modify this gun? The force is weak, but that's fine. You even adjusted the sights, the trajectory obviously deviates to the left. So many friends from the South come all the way to Harbin to have fun, and you cheat them like this?"
The owner quickly agreed, "I'll change it, I'll change it, I'll go back and change it immediately."
His uncle put down the toy gun, "I'll be back in a couple of days. If you haven't changed it by then, I'll shoot all your stuff clean! Give me that, the big green frog suit."
The owner didn't dare to slack off, quickly handing over the grand prize reward to his uncle, who accepted it and finally left satisfied.
The audience, thoroughly entertained by the performance, wasn't stingy with their applause, and soon thunderous applause echoed on the street.
Some even called out loudly, "May I ask your name?"
Without turning his head, his uncle shouted, "Harbin Wang's Braised Pork."
…
"Uncle, I didn't expect you to still be so skilled now."
Wang Fan knew his uncle had been in the military, but he didn't expect his uncle to be this capable at his age.
His uncle said proudly, "Those trainings are etched into my bones, even if I wanted to forget them, I can't."
Wang Fan curiously asked, "Uncle, what do you need the frog suit for?"
His uncle chuckled, "You wouldn't understand. This frog is super popular now. When the time comes, I'll put this on to maintain order for you, ensuring even better business."
Although Wang Fan wanted to say that their business was already pretty good, he didn't want to dampen the enthusiasm of the elder.
On the way back, Wang Fan had already called the delivery guy for the pork knuckle, and when they both strolled back, the delivery guy had just arrived at the RV.
Wang Fan signed the receipt and carried the pork knuckle onto the vehicle, but this time they ordered not 100 pounds, but 300 pounds.
This afternoon, he planned to make 100 pounds, and early the next morning, he would make 200 pounds for sale.
Even his uncle wasn't idle this time; while Wang Fan braised knuckle, his uncle peeled eggs that Wang Fan had just boiled, they would be a delicious treat once cooked in the marinade.
Gradually, the aroma of braised pork enveloped them once again.
…
"There are so many fake reviews, but here comes the real culinary detective: Hello everyone, I'm the food investigator, Di Renjie."
A short guy with slicked-back hair and sunglasses pinned to his chest appeared at the entrance of this snack street.
Holding a selfie stick, Di Renjie had just started his livestream and finished his self-introduction.
His livestream channel, having just started not long ago, already attracted over ten thousand viewers.
Di Renjie spoke to the camera, "Yesterday, a fan messaged me saying that across from the Ice and Snow World, there's a newly opened Wang's Braised Pork that's especially delicious, so I came to try it out. Coincidentally, my family and I are here to have some fun, so I came to check it out and see if it's just hype."
Saying this, he started sniffing around, "I have to say, as soon as I entered this snack street, I smelled rich meaty aromas. Could it be the place mentioned by the fan? Let me follow this scent and check it out."
Di Renjie used to be a chef and had a keen sense of smell. He tracked the aroma all the way to Wang Fan's RV, and upon seeing the handwritten sign, he couldn't help but smile.
"Turns out, it is the fan-recommended place, everyone look, Wang's Braised Pork."
He flipped his phone camera around, capturing the sign Wang Fan had written.
The viewers were delighted upon seeing this.
"Hey, this owner is lazy, the sign is handwritten."
"This sign definitely screams startup, paired with the Nine-Star Hong Guang RV; it makes a perfect match."
"Old Di, that fan must be the owner himself, tricking you for some full-on free publicity, haha!"
Di Renjie laughingly replied, "Everyone knows I don't take money from store owners; whether the fan is the owner or not doesn't matter. I'm not afraid to offend anyone, if the food's bad, my publicity won't help them make money."
Then he shouted into the RV, "Boss, is the knuckle ready?"
Wang Fan sniffed and said, "It needs another 30 minutes, you can wait a bit."
Di Renjie nodded, "Alright then, I'll browse around elsewhere first and come back later to try."
With that, he started walking down the snack street.
Wang Fan shrugged, thinking, "I hope you can still line up for it in thirty minutes."
Just as expected, soon after Di Renjie left, people started lining up, mostly those who'd craved it all morning but hadn't yet had the chance to buy the pork.
"I came super early today; surely there'll be some left for me today?"
"Hopefully those Southern folks don't like greasy food in the evening, or else we'll have to make way for them, haha."
"Well, they rarely come by; we should show them the Northeast hospitality."
"Definitely, I already brought along three groups of Southern girls for free today. They must know that we're passionate people from the Northeast."
"Nicely done, let's buy the meat and have some drinks later, find a place for a toast?"
"Sure thing, let's head to the restaurant on the next street. Get some sweet and sour pork, grill some skewers, the pork knuckle will be perfectly delicious with that."
Wang Fan, listening to the chatter outside, felt a wave of joy.
This kind of bustling atmosphere was something he had always longed for.
He sniffed the rich braised pork aroma, realizing it was time, and opened the RV window, shouting, "We're open!"
After the shout, he added a note on the sign, "Braised Egg 1 Yuan each."
Then the RV door swung open, and his uncle, dressed in the frog suit, jumped out to maintain order.
